Exactly, had nothing to do with Biden.

You are being obtuse for no reason.

You have been presented with the Forbes article in addition to the OP - there obviously is an adversarial relationship developing.

Biden has not even been in office one month yet - give him time and he will make many dreams come untrue.

The FAA doesn't work that fast. If anything drastically changed in the FAA from the Biden Administration it would take 6 months at least. Elon is complaining about the FAA's Space Regulatory Issues regarding being set up to accommodate only a hand full of launches and not the thousands he wants to do in a year. The article is bullshit.

policy changes aren't in play yet, this is regulation enforcement, a game where you can pick and chose which rules to enforce and how.

Now the FAA is enforcing existing regulations the biden way, demanding studies be overseen or performed by the right organizations, (the ones who lobbied, campaigned and donated to the politicians who put the new head of the FAA in place.)

trump was a de-regulator, at his peak, he took down 16 regulations for each new one, the difference in red tape between admins is becoming clear, before, the FAA under trump tolerated explosion after explosion without making unclear demands or unforeseen changes.

no one was even close to receiving an injured in any of these past testing RUDs, yet you can see a clear difference in how the FAA is handling them.

I'm betting Musk is really happy he bought those oil rigs now, I'm betting those future launch and landing platforms will be placed 200 miles off shore, not just because of the noise and safety issues, but because it's outside of outside of FAA jurisdiction.
